I've worked it out. Basically if the language for a particular
synthesizer isn't available, such as Swedish for Eloquence, which
doesn't exist anyway, JAWS will announce the language to which the page
was written in. However, if you turn language detection off, JAWS will
not do this. Thanks for the explanation!
